Daily Drive highscores have been migrated to Steam from the third party service we were using in the past. This is a backend change meant to work the same way as before but a side effect is an increase in responsiveness and being less prone to failing to save scores.

Daily Drive now includes a Time Bonus like the Campaign levels to make the leaderboards more competitive.

The Daily Drive now shows the date of the Drive you are about to play on the menu

Final Boss Medulla has had hitpoint tuning intended to make specific phases slightly faster / easier. If you have struggled with Medulla's fight in the past, please try again now!

With Pro Mode enabled (S+ Indicator or Auto-Restart) the Stage Clear screen will now display seconds with two decimal places of precision

When Auto Restart is enabled, the in-game S+ Indicator turns purple

Some older scores on Vespula, Venom and Medulla have been removed for no longer being possible to obtain with current scoring rules

Fixes

Fixed shadow projection issues on Zone 4 Boss Venom stage

Improved/consistant lighting on the background Genki Star in all Zone 4 levels

Fixed the transition effect at the end of the Final Boss Medulla fight to slide under particles/effects as intended

About This Game

When you're running on battery, make every second count!

Assault Android Cactus is an arcade style twin stick shooter set in a vivid sci fi universe. Junior Constable Cactus is outside her pay grade when she responds to a distress call and ends up stranded on a crippled space freighter under attack by its own robot workers.

Utilising a draining battery mechanic in place of lives, Assault Android Cactus challenges you to think fast and keep the bullets flying, blending the gameplay of western styled arena shooters with aspects of Japanese style bullet hell as you charge head first through transforming stages, massive boss battles and an eclectic cast of characters on the way to saving the day.

Key Features

25 stage campaign spread across five areas of the ship, face down giant bosses, earn characters and uncover the story of the Genki Star
